AND IT COULD FIT ON A TRAY

THE WATCH WAS WET WHEN THEY HANDED IT TO ME

MY HUSBAND IS DEAD AND THEY HANDED ME A WET WATCH

I NEVER NOTICED HIS SHOES WERE SO EXPERTLY PERFORATED

WILL GOD LEAVE ME FOR THAT NOT NOTICING

I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM EVERY MORNING

THAT HE WAS SLEEK AND LIKE INTERNATIONAL SEEMING

NOW I JUST HAVE THESE CHROME BAUBLES

NOW I JUST HAVE THESE CHROME BAUBLES

HOW DOES SOMEONE DIE IN THE DELTA LOUNGE

HOW DOES SOMEONE DIE IN THE DELTA LOUNGE

THE NURSES ARE MAD THAT I AM SCREAMING THE CHROME BAUBLE LINE

THE NURSES ARE MAD THAT I AM WRITING A POEM

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DOCTOR THINKS

BUT THEY ALL KNOW THIS WATCH WET AS HELL
